Why Book Our Air Con Regas in Market Rasen?

Keeping your air conditioning system topped up with refrigerant does more than just cool you down in the summer or clear your windscreen in the winter. Regular regassing improves overall system efficiency and helps prevent costly repairs. Industry experts recommend an air con regas every 2 to 3 years to maintain performance and reliability.

Lesser-known benefits of a Car A/C regas

  • Increased Fuel Efficiency – When refrigerant levels are low, your system has to work harder to cool the cabin, using more fuel.
  • Healthier Air Quality – Without consistent airflow, moisture can build up in the vents, leading to the growth of bacteria and mould.
  • Preventative Maintenance – A 10% drop in gas can lead to a 40% reduction in oil circulation. We replenish A/C oil during the service to maintain lubrication, helping avoid damage to hoses or failure of the compressor.

Car Air Con Regas in Market Rasen – Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Regas Cause a Leak?

In rare cases, yes, this can happen.

As part of a typical air-con regas, the system is vacuum tested to ensure it can hold negative pressure (around -14.5 psi), which helps confirm there are no immediate leaks.

However, if the system hasn't been serviced regularly, some hoses and joints may have dried out and become brittle. Once the regas is complete and the system operates under normal pressure (around 80 psi), a leak could occur due to the increased internal pressure. If this happens, we can carry out a high-pressure test using Oxygen Free Nitrogen (OFN) after fully evacuating the system. This test is a chargeable service.

Once the leak has been located and repaired by us or an approved third party, we’ll carry out a second air-con regas at no extra cost to ensure everything is working correctly.

Yes, and potentially even sooner than if the air conditioning were used regularly.

Refrigerant gas isn’t consumed by using the system, but it does gradually escape through the system’s porous rubber hoses and joints.

When the air conditioning isn’t used for extended periods, the lubricating oil isn’t circulated, which can cause the hoses and connections to dry out. This drying effect can increase the rate of gas loss, especially if the components become dry or brittle enough to crack or fail.

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend servicing your air conditioning system, including an air-con regas, every 2 to 3 years. This is because the system can gradually lose between 5% and 15% of its refrigerant gas each year through its hoses and joints.

As the gas level drops, so does the system’s pressure, which reduces its ability to circulate lubricating oil. Over time, this can lead to wear or failure of major components such as the compressor, condenser and evaporator, and contribute to the drying out and deterioration of the system’s hoses.
